I decide to try a n aggressive new line with these smaller overpairs.


Villain is running 20/14, cbet 73% over 97 hands...

What is your range for him? How's the line? Is the flop raise too big?



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (Button) ($25)
SB ($11.50)
BB ($6.85)
UTG ($29.90)
UTG+1 ($25)
MP1 ($35.50)
MP2 ($4.65)
MP3 ($33.10)
CO ($5.35)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, 9
2 folds, MP1 bets $1, 3 folds, Hero calls $1, 2 folds

Flop: ($2.35) 2, 4, 7 (2 players)
MP1 bets $0.75, Hero raises to $3.40, MP1 calls $2.65

Turn: ($9.15) 8 (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $5, MP1 raises to $31.10 (All-In), Hero folds

Total pot: $19.15 | Rake: $0.90

call flop on this dry board imo. I know it's a small bet but that doesn't mean you have to turn your hand mostly into a bluff...

just call down 2 streets most of the time; no need to turn your hand into a bluff.

depends on what you think of him. If you call the flop, the pot is still pretty small on the turn, you don't have to worry about too big of a bet anyway.

tangential to topic - i would start checking the positional VPIP in spots like this. In FR there are many people playing a very positionalyl aware game but a lot of guys have a much tighter or looser EP stats than you might expect.

I see some 20 VPIP guys who are SUPER tight from EP, and some with similar VPIP's to their overall vpip


---

on the hand, your flop raise lets him play perfectly, you fold out everything you beat and vtown yourself when behind. When making a raise on the flop like that, concentrate on why you are making it and what it accomplishes vs. his range

mixchange to you find their specific EP stats? I tend to rely a lot on attempt to steal to figure out how positionally aware opponents are.

badgers you prolly use PT3 right? If you have HEM just mouseover their stats or double click i can't remember which. Extremely useful in finding out some 20/12 is like 18% vpip from EP and button. lol.

nah I use hem thanks for the tip. Although I think attempt to steal is probs better for the normal time allowed when 16+ tabling, stats by position will def be useful in big pots and for note-taking while playing, although I guess it probs needs a pretty huge sample to become accurate.

Ya, tough to bring up lots of stats while mass MTTing

Maybe a good idea to at least check up on some of the reg's you play or ppl during a session you are putting a lot of hands in with.
